Resume Matcher

Overview

resume_matcher is an innovative npm package designed to enhance recruitment processes by automating the comparison of resumes with job descriptions. Utilizing advanced natural language processing (NLP) techniques, this tool extracts relevant keywords from job descriptions (JD) and resumes, focusing on essential criteria and omitting common stop words. It computes a match percentage that quantifies the relevance of a resume to a specific job description, enabling efficient pre-screening and boosting job matching accuracy.

Ideal for job boards, recruitment software, and HR technology platforms, resume_matcher aims to streamline hiring workflows and improve candidate-job alignment.

This project is supported by ResumeUp.AI, a platform dedicated to empowering job seekers with powerful tools for creating professional resumes.
